Summary

At its December 2004 meeting, Peaine Township declined to authorize a BMX track on township land after its risk representative and attorney identified a substantial insurance requirement. The board also declined an AmVets Post 46 request for land for a donated modular headquarters because of precedent concerns.

Evidence limits

The newspaper account records the board’s decision and stated reasons but does not include the full contract proposal or later alternatives.
